The mechanism of peptide-based direct plasma membrane translocation finally unveiled

Peptides that translocate spontaneously across cell membranes have the potential to transform the field of drug delivery by enabling the transport of otherwise membrane-impermeant molecules into cells. In this regard, a 9-aminoacid-long motif (representative sequence: PLIYLRLLR, named here Translocating Motif 9, TM9) that spontaneously translocates across membranes while carrying a polar dye was recently identified […]
